The Herbert A. Davidson Papers (1940-1974) consists of scrapbooks, minutes of meetings, financial and organizational records, correspondence, and a nominal amount of personal and miscellaneous material. The material contains information about the difficulties that Davidson, and all blacks, faced. The scrapbooks have particular value in this area, for the majority cover the topic of blacks and their experiences.

The collection consists of four series: Scrapbooks (Series I), Organizational Records (Series II), Virginia Union University Materials (Series III), and Personal and Miscellaneous Material (Series IV).
